Dealing with Hypochondriasis: Seeking Advice

Hi! I would like to talk to people that have hypochondriasis. I have not been officially diagnosed but I worry about every twinge and tweek in my body because I fear cancer. Is there anyone similar? I use to take anxiety medication and it helped... until the dose got too high and started giving me back pain. So I prefer not to take medicine but it is getting to the point of obsession. If I eat "bad food" and then feel a twinge or something I think "the cancer is growing". Sometimes I cannot go to sleep until I pray and pray because I worry about it. Any advice??
